Restamping blocks??????????????

[TimG]

Numbers matching just plain and simple does not confirm it’s the original engine in today’s world. Dealers typically use the term numbers matching to limit their liability. How about an original engine that was decked and restamped? That’s the original engine, but restamped, it gets very confusing. If you are sure an engine is the original engine, state that it is original and not restamped. You really have to be sure it is and today we’re getting pretty good at telling the fakes from originals. I feel bad for the folks that take numbers matching as confirmation that it is the original engine and not restamped. You have to go farther with your questions and inspection than that.

RESTAMPING blocks or any other part on a car should be illegal. They should ban the selling of materials to stamp blocks or parts. There are a few out there that are doing this and when they are caught they deny it. If the block is decked leave that way. RESTAMPING is nothing but GREED and once your caught you are a marked person. Just my opinion.

I agree 110%!!!!
If its not an original component it's fraudulent misrepresentation to state that the <span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;components are numbers matching&quot;</span> without clarifying that the components have been re-stamped. IMHO!!!!!!!!

How about some guys here that sell re stamped Distributors and Alternators. They tell you it is a re stamp in the description so are they crooks or scammers [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] Should sYc ban the sales of re stamped parts right here on the forum in the selling area?

<span style="font-weight: bold">As I said if they say they are re-stamped I don't have a problem with it at all. What I take issue with is the blatant lying!</span>
